This is by no means healthy, not at all. The only redeeming quality about it is the kids want a tall glass of milk to go with it, so extra calcium. That's the best I can do. Got this recipe from my friend Marcia.



Monkey Munch


9 cups Chex cereal (sneak in wheat Chex, and that's healthier! I did that last spring.)

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup butter

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar


In a large microwaveable bowl, combine peanut butter, chocolate chips and butter. Heat in microwave 1 minute. Take out, mix and return for another 30 seconds or until it can be mixes smooth. ( I do this on the stove top usually.)

Add in vanilla, stir.

If your bowl is large enough, you can put the dry cereal right in that bowl and mix until all cereal is coated. If not, put the cereal in a larger bowl and pour the chocolate mix right over it. Stir until completely coated.

Put into a large ziploc bag (large paper grocery bag works better)  and add confectioner's sugar. Seal and shake it all about (you do the hokey pokey) until the sugar coats everything.

Spread onto a large cookie sheet to cool.

Store in airtight container.
